University of Akron Main Campus

The Mary Schiller Myers School of Art in offers Ohio's most comprehensive undergraduate photography program manned by a full-time faculty of four. The photography program will provide the student a thorough grounding in all aspects of commercial and fine art photography, using both film and digital techniques. Advanced conceptual thinking and technical mastery are emphasized in this program, along with a solid understanding of historical and contemporary issues.

Because of the education in which we take pride in, two of our graduates have been awarded the impressive, high-status Guggenheim Fellowship. Many others have been awarded grants from the Ohio Art Council, as well.

The excellent photographic facilities include advanced and beginners' darkrooms, a color darkroom complete with a 26" automated roller transport print processor, access to digital imaging computer labs, and two commercial studios with strobes and 4"x5" view cameras.
